I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating Novel - Chapter 43
Chapter 43: Can You Not Have Children For Now
“Maybe even Uncle Lu and Aunty Yao don’t know him. Lu Bei wasn’t like this in the past. When he was in junior high, he was the best student in the whole school. But later, he realized that no matter how hard he tried, Uncle Lu would not see it. Whether it was Uncle Lu or Aunty Yao, they didn’t care if he did well or not. They didn’t care about Lu Bei at all!”
“But they were the ones who brought Lu Bei into this world. After giving birth to a child, is it enough to just clothe him, feed him and compensate him financially? Children need to be showered with love, and they need the protection of their parents. In order to attract Uncle Lu’s attention, Lu Bei didn’t study hard and fought. He thought that he would be able to receive Uncle Lu’s care, but he didn’t…”
Xiang Xiaoyuan realized that there was indeed a generation gap between her and An Yu.
From an adult’s perspective, she felt that Lu Bei wasn’t miserable at all. If Lu Bei’s life was given to her, she would be able to wake up from her dream with a smile.
An Yu’s family background was good. Her parents were loving and carefree. It could be said that the world was a beautiful place for her, so she felt it was unfair for Lu Bei. But in reality, in this world, there were more parents who were busy working for money, leaving their children at home. Those without money or parents, weren’t they more worthy of sympathy than Lu Bei?
To Xiang Xiaoyuan, people like An Yu and Lu Bei had never been beaten up by society, so they did not know that they already had something that most people in the world did not have.
Perhaps it was because she just wanted to express her feelings, An Yu ignored Xiang Xiaoyuan’s silence and continued, “Lu Bei cares about Uncle Lu very much. He longs for his father’s love…” She turned her head, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes. It could be seen that she really felt sorry for Lu Bei. “Aunty, Lu Bei won’t fight with you over anything…”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”
What did it have to do with her?
“Lu Bei isn’t a manipulative person. After the university entrance exam, we’ll go abroad. If nothing goes wrong, we’ll settle abroad and won’t disturb you and Uncle Lu. Based on how much Lu Bei cares about Uncle Lu, he definitely won’t hurt you, who Uncle Lu cares about.”
An Yu’s tone was a little sorrowful. “We all know that Uncle Lu likes you very much. Although we don’t know much about you, you must be very, very good to be liked by Uncle Lu.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”
Wait, why are you speaking so cryptically?
An Yu raised her head and looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan earnestly. “So Aunty, I want to ask you to promise me something.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t do it.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan rejected her without thinking. This girl’s requests were very difficult. If it weren’t for money, she wouldn’t have agreed to it at the last parent-teacher conference.
If An Yu was sober, she wouldn’t have said anything more after being rejected so directly. But now that she was drunk, using the alcohol as an excuse, she was a little reckless. “Aunty, I know the request is very unreasonable, but can you not have children for now? It won’t be long, just one year… don’t get pregnant, okay?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan was full of questions.
An Yu pleaded, “Aunty, I beg you, one year is very important. After our university entrance exams are over, you can have a child with Uncle Lu after Lu Bei and I go abroad. I believe Lu Bei will be able to accept that his father doesn’t love him then.”
“Aunty, Lu Bei grew up in a loveless family. It’s too cruel to let him watch Uncle Lu have a child with you and even receive the love he never received after the child was born.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan rolled her eyes indecently.
She did not have any thoughts of having a child, but after hearing An Yu’s words, she did not tell her directly. Instead, she said lightly, “Whether or not I have a child is my business. I have no obligation to agree to it.”
An Yu was stunned, “But…”
“An Yu, if Lu Bei has such thoughts, he can communicate with his father.” Xiang Xiaoyuan chuckled. “Or if you want to interfere in the Lu family’s matters, you can go to Lu Wanggui and tell him that. We only met for the second time today. Relatively speaking, you are more familiar with Lu Wanggui, aren’t you?”
It was obvious that An Yu would never dare to say such things to Lu Wanggui. Based on this, it could be seen that even the young people knew to pick the weaker one.
However, Xiang Xiaoyuan was not a weakling that could be casually picked on.
“You’re drunk and your mind isn’t clear. It’s better to rest for a while. I’ll wake you up when we get to your house.”
An Yu’s face turned pale. A girl who had always been pampered realized that she might have made a mistake, but she did not feel sorry. She was more worried that Xiang Xiaoyuan would complain to Lu Wanggui and implicate Lu Bei…
